The guy at the very beginning is Stanley Unwin, a British comedian and comic writer, and the inventor of his own language, "Unwinese," a mangled form of English in which many of the words were corrupted in playful and humorous ways. 1968 he narrated the story of "Happiness Stan" on side two of The Small Faces' LP Ogden's Nut Gone Flake. info checked with Wikipedia. A Roy Wood's Wizzard B-side (of "Rock 'N Roll Winter") is titled "Dream of Unwin"

Jeff Lynne joined after Carl Wayne left. Carl left because the concept of ELO, for him, was moving too far from their pop-rock hits. The ELO concept was a logical progression for what The Ilde Race was doing so Jeff joined. Incidentially, there's a story that The Move gave interviews that they would break up if their next single (Blackberry Way) didn't go to number one. It did. Their only number one single.

Jeff Lynne was original invited The Move when Trevor Burton quit. Trevor quit because this song was way too pop for him just like Eric Clapton quit The Yardbirds are the success of "For Your Love".

A haunting song - it sounded even better with the strings added, on the single, which was a UK no. 1 in '69.

In fact Jeff Lynne was invited to join the Move soon after this song but he wanted still continue with his group the Idle Race. But in January 1970 Lynne did join because Wood convinced their plan together, ELO, was soon ready to go.

The Move rocked! Jeff Lynn (ELO) joined shortly after this from The Idle Race. This song is beautiful...like a dark counterpart to Penny Lane by The Beatles...very cool! *****
